I think that it is --scripts (note the s)

This showed:

# avahi-autoipd stuff
/usr/sbin/groupadd -f -r avahi-autoipd
/usr/bin/id avahi-autoipd >/dev/null 2>&1 || \
        /usr/sbin/useradd -r -g avahi-autoipd -c 'avahi-autoipd' -s
/sbin/nologin -d /var/lib/avahi-autoipd avahi-autoipd
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ "$1" == "1" ]; then
        /sbin/chkconfig --add NetworkManager
fi
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then
    /sbin/service NetworkManager stop >/dev/null 2>&1
    killall -TERM nm-system-settings >/dev/null 2>&1
    /sbin/chkconfig --del NetworkManager
fi
